Scott McLaughlin opens up about his feelings after his Indy 500 test

Team Penske driver Scott McLaughlin recently spoke about his feelings after the two-day Indianapolis 500 open test. The open test is a part of the process to get ready for the Indy 500, scheduled to take place on May 25.

McLaughlin, during the two-day test, showed promising pace and went on to top the speed charts during the second day of testing. While talking to Bob Pockrass, Fox Motorsports insider, the Kiwi driver looked back on his runs during the two-day session at the track and said (via Pockrass' X handle):

"I think we were trying to get a feel for not only yourself, but manufacturers and everything with like that to see where everything sits, and I think at the parameters that we ran at from the team perspective, we didn't throw everything to the wall today. I don't think anyone would have. But it was a good read with a heavier car."

"Because the biggest thing that has changed now is the heaviness of the car. It's very different. It feels weird. It's nice to come out here with reasonable conditions and have a feel for it and at least get an introduction to what it's going to be like," McLaughlin added.

Team Penske, over the years, has been successful at the track, but McLaughlin has struggled to perform. The three-time Supercars Champion entered the Indy 500 five times but managed a top-10 finish only once.

With the promising speed shown during the testing, Scott McLaughlin will look forward to improving on his previous result at the track this year.
